+Diana Salyer So sorry to hear about your cousin passing away at just 19 yrs. old. Prayers are with you. A truly beautiful song to have played at her funeral. Didn't know her but I feel that I do because of the lyrics. :-)
On this day in 1969 {June 11th} the John Wayne & Glen Campbell movie "True Grit" had its world premier And exactly ten years later on June 11th, 1979 John Wayne passed away at the age of 72 The film garnered two Academy Awards nominations; for Best Actor {which John Wayne won} & for Best Original Song {for the title song, lost to "Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head"} Glen Campbell sang the title song; it entered Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart on July 26th & eventually it peaked at #35
Just a fantastic singer, guitar player, entertainer and actor. Listing to to him singing this song brings back a lot of memories from that time and sadness that he has passed but had left us with great songs to listen to.❤👍👍
I first saw true grit in 1972. I was 13 and this movie and theme song has followed me to the point, that I play it on the trumpet jn parks and any mountain I can find. Im big on theme songs.
A superb live performance of this wonderful song by Glen Campbell from the original version of the film "True Grit".The entire music score was exquisitely crafted by Elmer Bernstein,and the lyrics of the song were written by that very fine lyricist,Don Black.For those who have only seen the remake I would strongly recommend that you view both films.The Coen brothers make wonderful films,BUT the original was directed by the talented Henry Hathaway. Wayne's fight against cancer was "True Grit".
Diana Salyer.....my heart goes out to you. I know what it's like to lose someone close to myself.......please be strong.....something I live by... if I remember someone.... they're never truly gone.
The song "True Grit" by Glen Campbell is the theme song for the 1969 film of the same name, starring John Wayne. The lyrics were written by Don Black, and the music was composed by Elmer Bernstein. Glen Campbell performed the vocals for the theme. Here are the lyrics to "True Grit": If you take a life, do you know what you'll give? Odds are, you won't like what it is When the storm arrives, would you be seen with me? By the merciless eyes of deceit? I've seen angels fall from blinding heights But you yourself are nothing so divine Just next in line Arm yourself because no one else here will save you The odds will betray you And I will replace you You can't deny the prize, it may never fulfill you It longs to kill you Are you willing to die? The coldest blood runs through my veins You know my name If you come inside, things will not be the same When you return to the night If you think you've won, you never saw me change The game that we've been playing I've seen this diamond cut through harder men Than you yourself, but if you must pretend You may meet your end Arm yourself because no one else here will save you The odds will betray you And I will replace you You can't deny the prize, it may never fulfill you It longs to kill you Are you willing to die? The coldest blood runs through my veins Try to hide your hand, forget how to feel (Forget how to feel) Life is gone with just a spin of the wheel (Spin of the wheel) Arm yourself because no one else here will save you The odds will betray you And I will replace you You can't deny the prize, it may never fulfill you It longs to kill you Are you willing to die? The coldest blood runs through my veins You know my name You know my name You know my name You know my name
@JustLovesGlen You are so lucky to see Glen live. It is so good to have a performer repeat a recording so well live and be so natural. I was working in Radio when this song came out and we hammered it but it did not chart very well.
Did they have hairspray in the cowboy days? I have to disagree with the crowd here, apparently Glen Campbell fans. John Wayne wasn't much of an actor, Jeff Bridges put him to shame..Glen Campbell looked like a 1970's country star landed in the old west without a hair out of place. Never a 5 o'clock shadow, it was silly You have to look hard to find a better couple of filmmakers then the Cohen Brothers and they wouldn't have made the film if they couldn't have improved it, and they did in spades.
Glen was so good that this live recording actually sounds just like the studio recording.
Actually my favorite Glen Campbell song....
He will never be dead with so much beautiful music left with us
This song means the world to me and he did it as no other can.
Goodbye Glen. Thank you for bringing a lot of pleasure to my life.
Glen Campbell was truly an incredible, amazing talent!!!!
Favorite song ever.
MY COUSIN PASSED AWAY AT 19 AND SHE REQUESTED THIS SONG BE PLAYED AT HER FUNERAL...BEAUTIFUL SONG

I can not think of any other male singer with shinier or more beautiful hair than Glen's. He has the most beautiful head of hair I have ever seen!
Just beautiful..
The voice of the Angels....

Here are the lyrics to "True Grit":
If you take a life, do you know what you'll give?
Odds are, you won't like what it is
When the storm arrives, would you be seen with me?
By the merciless eyes of deceit?
I've seen angels fall from blinding heights
But you yourself are nothing so divine
Just next in line
Arm yourself because no one else here will save you
The odds will betray you
And I will replace you
You can't deny the prize, it may never fulfill you
It longs to kill you
Are you willing to die?
The coldest blood runs through my veins
You know my name
If you come inside, things will not be the same
When you return to the night
If you think you've won, you never saw me change
The game that we've been playing
I've seen this diamond cut through harder men
Than you yourself, but if you must pretend
You may meet your end
Arm yourself because no one else here will save you
The odds will betray you
And I will replace you
You can't deny the prize, it may never fulfill you
It longs to kill you
Are you willing to die?
The coldest blood runs through my veins
Try to hide your hand, forget how to feel
(Forget how to feel)
Life is gone with just a spin of the wheel
(Spin of the wheel)
Arm yourself because no one else here will save you
The odds will betray you
And I will replace you
You can't deny the prize, it may never fulfill you
It longs to kill you
Are you willing to die?
The coldest blood runs through my veins
You know my name
You know my name
You know my name
You know my name
Beautiful ... a simple clean squeaky time ..so much better ... so much better
This song and movie and everythng sparks a nice feeling in me
Incredible talent !!
Let's treasure Glen and his music. We probably will never be able to purchase music like this again.
I thot he was miming the tune...but no he's singing.in live! .what a voice!
@JustLovesGlen You are so lucky to see Glen live. It is so good to have a performer repeat a recording so well live and be so natural. I was working in Radio when this song came out and we hammered it but it did not chart very well.
One of a kind!
Linda canção feita para um grande filme,parabéns a todos pelo belo trabalho.Jason Goiânia/GO/Brazil
This song means so much to me
He used to be the best ......
He will always be the best.
HE STILL IS THE BEST
Glen looks like a Ken of Mattel, the real 60's Ken!!!
